Specifically developed for the US Navy E.O.D. Groups (Explosive Ordnance Disposal), the CASV-EL has become a Battle Proven rigid mounting platform, respected by all end users. The Model that the Navy Bomb Squad uses is the CASV-EL ("EL" meaning Extended Length), in the Color "Flat Dark Earth" (Vltor Tan)

The CASV-EL is one of the simplest rail systems to install, requiring no special installations tools. All that is needed is to remove the pinned in sling swivel located on the front sight tower assembly. Each handguard assembly has a rigid continuous rail section along the top, and comes with removable rail sections that allow the user to install rail sections where needed.

Fits all flat top receivers, carbine length gas systems M4 AR15 carbine series system. This system will not work with Mid-Length or Rifle Length gas systems.

Product seems nice and solid. Came sealed in plastic with a box and some stickers! And who doesn't love that? The CASV-EL looks awesome, and feels good in the hands, however, I haven't installed it yet. It was dropped off by a shipping company yesterday (got here quick, and all the way from Wisconsin! Way to go!), but it has rust on it. Specifically on the screws for the "piggy back" rail, and on the screw part that sits right above the delta ring. Not a huge deal, but for this price, I expected it to be in slightly better shape. The screws for the piggy back are tight, and I am afraid to tighten them down. I would like to make it known that I JUST sent an e-mail to BCM about this, and they haven't had a chance to reach me back, but I will update as soon as they do! I'm sure it will be taken care of quickly, and then I can bump this up to the rightful 5-stars it deserves!

New Rifle Build

I used this hand guard on a new build, everything went together great! I chose this hand guard because I was able to use the PRI Flip Up Front Sight/ Gas Block with it.

unlimited accessory options

This handguard installs incredibly easy and eliminates the need for optics risers to cowitness with your iron sights. After installation there is one slot left on your flat top receiver to mount a flip up battle sight. I tried the Magpul 0MBUS sight which did not work so I went to the Troy flip up battle sight which fit perfectly. This rail gives the weapon a great look and with the 90 degree and 45 degree rail mounts your customization options are literally endless. And the best part is the bottom half removes easily without any tools so you can mount the M203 or a flare launcher! All in all a great rail platform.

Solid fit and feel...

This rail installs easily. You only have to remove the front sling swivel that is attached to the FSB. I used a dremel to gently remove a little of the rivet then with a punch, the swivel will pop out easily. The handguard mounts solidly onto the receiver via the barrel nut and receiver rail. This gives a rock solid connection between the two. The lower part of the handguard swings into place and connects via a latch near the FSB. This is not the most secure connection and I can see this coming loose or possibly weakening in the future but overall, this rail looks and feels nice. you can customize where the rails go which keeps the handguard clean without the need to rail panels. Another negative point is that this handguard will scratch easily, however it is still my favorite handguard out of the Troy, Samson, and DD Omega that I own. This CAS-V is not nearly as heavy as it looks!
